Rancher music singer Vicente Fernandez has a slight neurological improvement yet remains in intensive care and with assisted breathing, his doctors said in a statement.
After the family denied last weekend the rumor that the “Charro d’Huentitán” had died, doctors announced that the performer has a slight tendency to improve.
“Mr. Vicente continues in the area of intensive care due to the type of care he requires. He has remained stable with noticeable changes in his neurological state, his evolution has been slow but he has remained with a very discreet tendency towards improvement. “, indicates the statement of the doctors in conjunction with the singer’s family, released on Tuesday night.
The performer arrived at a private hospital in Guadalajara in early August after suffering a fall that caused a blow to the neck near the skull, injuring the spinal cord and leaving him without movement of arms and legs .
Because of this the singer had to undergo emergency surgery which caused him to breathe and therefore he had to be connected to artificial respiration and consequently completely sedated to facilitate his recovery.
Fernández suffers from Guillain-Barré syndrome, a condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves and can lead to paralysis, which has nothing to do with the fall, according to statements from his family.
Specialists attending to the performer of “The King” and “Too bad you’re an alien” have noted that they hope to soon remove the tracheotomy that was performed just over three weeks ago and that the inflammation of the airways that this procedure had caused it to begin to yield.

Fernández stays with a probe to feed himself because he cannot swallow food and his peripheral mobility, that is, that of his four limbs – he remains “absent”, although it is possible for him to sit in a reclining chair. , have indicated in the statement.
Prior to his arrival at the hospital, the singer had been hospitalized for a severe urinary tract infection that kept him in hospital for two days.
Throughout his life Fernández has overcome several diseases, such as prostate cancer in 2002, the removal of a tumor in the liver in 2012, a year later a thrombosis that caused him to lose his voice and surgery to remove abdominal hernias in 2015.
